last boat to america

Singer:david gray

paint me a boat

away i'll float

into the stillness of a pure blue sky

there's nothing here to hold me now

and i got no more tears to cry

grant me a wish

just one more kiss

baby kiss me till the daylight's through

these are days that make you blue

and there ain't nothing more a fool can do

in and out of dreams all day

cos tonight i'll dream about

baby let's go walk away this time

sing me the truth sweet bird of youth

i got some trouble trying to understand

beneath the veils of mystery

are these the movements of an unseen hand

our arms are filled with sunken treasure

our heads are filled with perfect sound

do we truly see it

hey

till we're placing it in the ground

take just what you need from me

cos tonight i'll dream about

baby let's go walk away this time

want to take you all away this time

don't matter

lie to me

i'm falling

don't need your light on me

no no

don't need your light on me?

paint me a boat

away i'll float

into the stillness of a pure blue sky.
